Sessions, organised ad hoc in an 'unconference' style, looked at hyperlocal bloggers and councils, elections, law, issues around content, making money and supporting each other in a community were all discussed throughout the day.

Attendees included Twitterers, bloggers, web publishers, photographers and anyone with an interest in producing content online about a place important to them - travelling from Edinburgh, Leeds, Isle of Wight, London and across the UK. Session topics were pitched and then posted onto a day schedule to run throughout the day.

Networking and chatting among hyperlocal publishers will continue into the evening at Gwdihw Cafe Bar.
